Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials-Chapter 285 - 155: Xin Family’s Scheme and the Holy Armor Divine Refining Technique (2)

The words stirred Zheng Yi, raising his eyebrows. This old fox really knows how to think! He's putting me directly under the flames.

He hadn't anticipated that Xin Youqiu, relying on his age, would suddenly appear with such an idea?

Zheng Yi's marriage to Luoo Yaoyao was not for beauty, but for the Innate Peach Divine Embryo within her. It was a fair transaction between them, but this can't be disclosed to outsiders, nor can her secrets be leaked, to avoid unnecessary troubles.

After all, the Innate Peach Divine Embryo with five hundred years of Dao Practice, not just Zheng Yi, even any Purple Mansion Stage Cultivator would covet it, unwilling to easily give it up.

If this matter gets out, it could shake the Daluo Alliance, and no peace would remain.

Thus, Zheng Yi could only bear the name of being infatuated with beauty, but it didn't matter; anyway, Demon Dao Cultivators are known for their ridiculous behavior. His infatuation with beauty makes him appear more like a Demon Cultivator, which would not arouse suspicion.

As for marrying Xin Lingxian, what is he after? 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Though Xin Lingxian is beautiful, and the Xin Family as an Artifact Refining Clan is useful, Zheng Yi wouldn't trouble himself by hitching onto the entire Xin Family's chariot.

Having reached this step of cultivation, every step Zheng Yi takes is carefully considered, not reckless.

He cultivates not for himself, surely not for the entire Xin Family?

Moreover, the Xin Family has long joined the Daluo Alliance, theoretically already under his command. It's not about taking advantage, but the benefits still return to himself. So what's the advantage in marrying Xin Lingxian?

Of course, Zheng Yi definitely didn't want to leave any romantic debts, nor did he want to develop direct feelings.

He had already explained this clearly to Luoo Yaoyao. It was merely a fair trade between them.

As a person pursuing the Dao, with many forces under him, and positioned in the land of Demon Dao struggle, leaving weaknesses behind would undoubtedly lead to endless troubles if caught by opponents.

For Zheng Yi, whether romantic entanglements or leaving progeny, both are significant troubles.

Therefore, Zheng Yi thought for a while and was about to refuse, when Xin Youqiu below spoke loudly.

"As for the conditions for marrying a concubine, I have already asked Cultivator Qi. Don't worry, Xin Lingxian will still be the Young Master of the Xin Family and won't trouble you, sir. The Xin Family only wants it in name."

While speaking, the old man took out a Jade Scroll from his bosom and held it high above his head.

"The Xin Family is willing to offer the ancestral Secret Scripture 'Thirty-Six Acupoint Divine Armor Refining Technique' to you, sir?!"

"This Cultivation Technique was accidentally obtained by the Xin Family ancestor and has been passed down for nine generations, becoming the foundation of the Xin Family. It is a Body Refining Secret Skill, according to the Xin Family ancestor's words, it is useful even for Purple Mansion Cultivators…"

Upon hearing Xin Youqiu's boasting, Zheng Yi stopped his refusal mid-sentence; it wasn't that he didn't believe the old man. After all, the entire Xin Family relies on him, so it's hard to imagine them daring to deceive him.

But upon hearing it was a Body Refining Secret Skill, Zheng Yi became interested and halted, casually summoning the Jade Scroll into his hand.

The powerful Divine Soul Power poured into the Jade Scroll, and Zheng Yi casually flipped through a few pages, confirming Xin Youqiu's words were true. This Cultivation Technique felt very familiar, similar to the Formless Innate Qi Gathering and Scattering Divine Light acquired from Beard, showing a marvelous resemblance.

However, this Cultivation Technique is based on Armor Refining, a Defense Secret Technique, yet it similarly opens acupoints in the flesh, nurturing the body with Exotic Sect Skills.

Though unconventional, it is indeed one of the precious Body Refining Techniques.

The mentioned Holy Beetle must be nurtured as the foundation, engraving Arrays on it, cultivating it into Treasure Armor, ultimately covering the body, becoming a powerful defense treasure.

"Has Xin Lingxian agreed?"

Zheng Yi paused for a moment and slowly said.

"Rest assured, sir, the Patriarch agreed, and only then did this old face come to report to the Alliance Leader."

Upon hearing this, the Xin Clan Elders smiled; clearly, things had reached this point, almost obtaining Zheng Yi's approval, making the subsequent matters simple.

The Xin Family came here with shallow roots, needing to rest and rejuvenate, grow and flourish, urgently needing a backer.

And among the Daluo Alliance, which backer could be bigger than Zheng Yi, the Alliance Leader?

Moreover, the two sides had previous ties, and Zheng Yi had the grace of saving Xin Lingxian. As long as the interests fit everyone's demands, it's merely a political marriage; nothing can't be negotiated.

Qi Lin, as Zheng Yi's most loyal subordinate, cleverly clung to him, almost knowing his guts. Lately, he's been secretly conspiring with Xin Youqiu, though some words couldn't be openly said, he more or less guessed Zheng Yi's master's thoughts and intentions.

Xin Youqiu, thinking he has a rare commodity, sees that his Patriarch Xin Lingxian has no dislike for Zheng Yi, even holds fondness, thus things immediately settle.

Next, Xin Youqiu, smiling, said, "Sir, the Patriarch is waiting outside. I will go and invite her in."

"Would you like to have a conversation?"

With Zheng Yi's consent, Xin Clan Elder Xin Youqiu immediately walked out from the hall, followed by Qi Lin. After a while, Xin Lingxian entered, raised her charming face, and stood there, looking at Zheng Yi unmoving.

The woman clearly went through meticulous grooming, dressed in a long skirt. Undeniably, Xin Lingxian indeed exudes an Immortal Qi, and as a Patriarch, unintentionally nurtured a sense of authority. The combination of the two gave an eye-catching impression.

After all, Cultivators could subtly adjust their appearance, almost no unattractive ones, faces are exceptionally beautiful, but female cultivators like Xin Lingxian with unique attributes are extremely rare.

Outside, she'd surely be a target pursued by many talented young men.

Of course, Zheng Yi merely appreciated it simply. The Great Dao is arduous; he had no time to waste on this.

It's not that he doesn't appreciate romance, but what he needs to enjoy he already has; a mere woman, even if a matchless beauty, is merely a red dust skeleton. In front of the Great Dao, in the face of immortality, all must make way.

"Have you considered everything clearly?!"

After a moment, Zheng Yi spoke.

"Yes, sir."

Xin Lingxian softly responded, then bowed, "Lingxian has not yet thanked you for saving my life last time."

"Forget it, rescuing you was to secure Xin Family's allegiance. Since the agreement is fulfilled, gratitude is unnecessary."

Zheng Yi waved casually.

"Has Clan Uncle already passed the Secret Scripture 'Holy Armor Divine Refining Technique' to you for review?"

Xin Lingxian raised her head, her eyes under the willow leaf brows looking up, softly asking.

Subsequently, under Zheng Yi's gaze, Xin Lingxian skillfully conversed, undaunted, continuing.

"This Secret Scripture was originally a forbidden secret of the Xin Family; cultivating it requires the Holy Beetle. This creature, only nurtured across nine generations of the Xin Family, can have. As long as you are willing to marry me, allowing this humble Xin Family amidst circling wolves to rest and rejuvenate, the Xin Family vows loyal allegiance, unwavering loyalty to you, sir."

"As a mere woman, my father entrusted me on his deathbed, hence I bear the family's burden. Lingxian knowing this burden, seeks not much, only the status of a concubine, to train my brother into a true Xin Family Leader. Whether the Holy Beetle or I, will all follow you, sir."

Xin Lingxian, having been Patriarch, led the Xin Family step by step out of adversity, is not an ordinary lady. Her seemingly delicate frame holds a temperament and demeanor equal to an ambitious character.

Zheng Yi understood well, Xin Lingxian's scheming was not simple, as a strong woman, ever since the Xin Family faced calamity, she seized total Xin Family power.

Aligning with him might hold few voluntary portions, perhaps not her intention, but relationships among cultivators differ from mortal romances; it's about interests.

Currently, for the Xin Family, there truly is no better choice than Zheng Yi.

After all, the Xin Family has few members, Xin Lingxian's brother is too young, potentially unable to rise. She had just shouldered the Xin Family for a short while, genuinely needing solid backing.
